What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

@Mustang67 you deserve a change in luck sweetheart x

Awww@Bunniekins thank you. I appreciated you saying that ❤️

@Mustang67 hey Mustang67 how are you going this morning? xx

@Bunniekins not too bad. I am just reading through the discussions from October, so I can get to know people a bit better.

How are you going?

@Mustang67 tbh i am feeling a bit stressed but okay considering my middle son. but am getting heaps of support so not complaining.

@Mustang67 what have you got on today hunny?

@Bunniekins it sounds like you have had it tough. I assume your son no longer lives at home?

It takes a dedicated, loving and strong person to look after a child with disabilities. I have two nieces and one has a child with autism and the other has a child with ADHA. And even though I love them both, I can see how much hard work they are for my niece's.

And they just cope as best as they can.

How old is your son?

@Bunniekins absolutely nothing. I will probably sleep part of it away, as at the moment my sleep pattern is reversed. Most days I do nothing except whatch shows on my phone while I am in bed. As the way I see it, I have nothing to get up for.

Once a week I visit my mum and cat, and pick up my medication. Normally my main outings are either a doctors or therapist appointment. I can't really go anywhere that requires walking as my back is too weak.

I have found the perfect place to go, to start strengthening it, but a new clinic is opening up in January that is closer to me, than where the main clinic is.

I know if I have to drive 45 mins each way to do a 30 minute session of weights, after a while I will get sick of travelling that 3 times a week and I will give up. So that's why I want to wait for the clinic that will only be 20 minutes away, to give myself a chance. I have got to do something as I struggle going anywhere, and my daughter (who lives with her dad) is missing out on doing things and going places with me.

@Mustang67 he is 32 he got diagnosed when he was 2 1/2 with autism. epilepsy at around 3 and schizophrenia around 5ish (early childhood schizophrenia but it didnt show its true nastiness until he was 16). yes he and his siblings have had it tough.

@Mustang67 its tough. i have just started doing workouts with a fitness instructor every tuesday and although i hate it it helps. she comes and picks me up and drops me back. good on you re clinic in January it sounds like a goer for you and you are right you need to make it easy on yourself to keep up the momentum at least i do too.
